Best plays in UK history....but it can't be a made shot.

Roger Hardin's full court behind the back pass to Blackmon 1986.
James Lee staring down the Russian Twin towers after destroying them with a dunk in the exhibition.

[TBCat]

Going with AD's block against UNC followed by Jorts tagging Sullinger.

 

[TeoJ]

Dirk's dunk seems like his head was over the rim.

 

[YouKay]

Trying this. The Hawkins ankle breaker.

 

[davekersey]

Ulis's no look back-handed pass to a streaking Willie for the monster jam.

 

[davekersey]

Ulis's no look back--handed pass to a streaking Willie Cauley Stein for the thunder dunk.

 

[Great Grandson of All American]

Princes 5 made three point "shots" to start the game. In person at least for me.

 

[BleedBluNAZ]

Sky Walker's block to end the UNLV NCAA tourney game. If I remember right, he had just made a shot on the other end to give us lead and literally came flying like Spiderman out of nowhere to block the shot

 

[78Gooses]

These are all great plays. Love threads like this. Tai frogging Brad's shoulder for tugging on his armpit hairs was epic among plays made on the bench. Seriously though.....heck I can't decide.

 

[jrpross]

Ulis's no look back-handed pass to a streaking Willie for the monster jam.

Ah! You beat me Dave! I had just gone to YouTube to link it. But good lord, that was one of my favorite passes of all time.

My first thought was AD against UNC, but what about the walk he forced against KU in the final? Kansas kid made that three and that would have made it a one possession game.

Noel, a dozen blocks against Vandy.

 

[trav55]

Davis' block against Carolina. Also, when he forced a hundred pump fakes against South Carolina and no one would shoot.

MKG's block against Kansas in the title game.

Perry Stevenson goaltended a free throw once.


There are way more but I don't want to ruin the thread.

That damn Stevenson technical was one of the many horribly stupid Gillespie calls I'd ever seen. Why not do a lane violation?!?! They can't give you a tech if you keep making him shoot it. God that was terrible. In other words, I still agree with your vote.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

When Cutler chased Coach G out of the state of KY.

 

[ok-cats-computer]

It's interesting that I can't think of a steal that stands out in my memory. I'm sure I'm missing an obvious classic play in which we got a steal, but I'm drawing a blank and no one has mentioned one yet.

Hives me the chills......again.

 

[UKFAN4L]

JORTS tattooing sullinger has to be my fav. Love that kid, love that play, love that game.

Others:
ADs block on Henson.

Not the dunk, but the subsequent "call me" from Cousins.

AD making that one dude cut short his drive, head fake, spin, head fake again, spin again, realize he has no shot and passes back out.

Ramel Bradley squaring up with Andrew Bogut.

 

[UKGrad87]

Kentucky vs Kansas 1978
Tie game with 3 seconds left and Mac Stallcup calls timeout when Kansas has none remaining and gets technical foul. Macy hits freethrows and UK pulls off remarkable comeback win...

Same gane, but I will go with Dwight Anderson's steal and cross court save to Macy while flying into the stands for a wide open 15 footer with 10 sec left, setting the stage for the infamous TO.

 

[OOOOOOO]

Magloire ghosting the mascot of Miami of Ohio and running straight through him in tunnel at halftime.

 

[TopCatCal]

1. The November 1983 UL game, when Sam Bowie & Melvin Turpin both blocked the same shot by UL player Charles Jones.

2. The Julius Randle assist to Aaron Harrison in the sweet 16 game against UL.

3. The day we saw Tubby Smith getting on an airplane & leaving here to take the Minnesota job.

4. The day Billy Gillispie got fired from here

5. The day Calipari got hired.

 

[Bkocats]

first two that came to mind, of course, were AD's block and Jorts' dodgeball impression.

also loved Andrew yelling "shoot it" at Aaron vs Michigan for the FF
